After dominating the 2024 World Superbi๊ke Championship, BMW has a new homologation of its M1000 RR machine to try and defend that title with.

The updates come across the bike’s s🐠pecification, from the aerodynamics and bodywork to the engine, and there are chassis updates, too🅘.

“We have an optimised engine, we changed the aerodynamics again, we fine-tuned the winglets and also the width of the fairing to be more agile,” BMW WorldSBK technical dir♐ector Chris Gonschor told WorldSBK.com.

“Electronic and chassis devel🃏o🧸pment is ongoing like always, so it’s a pleasure to see the bike [on track].”

Gonschor cﷺontinued, explaining that the change in engine specification is the biggꦉest change of all compared to 2024.

“The main difference for sure♉ is the n✨ew engine spec,” he said.

“The facelifted model for the road homologation bike has 6bhp more. [...] For sure it’s a perfect platfor🎃m for our race engine to improve and use this possibility of improvement in horsepower, torque, and linearity.”

Gonschor said that the goal with the new aerodynamics wa꧟s to keep the positive points of the previous fairing, bu🐽t increase the bike’s agility.

“The ܫnew aerodynamic package is fine-tuned also on the road bike,”💎 he began.

“The target was to keep the aerodynamic effect of anti-wheelie and for sure stopping performance, but improving also corner entry and agility in fast c🅠hanges of direction.

“Therefore, 🌼we are glad that we can make a next step with the race fairing for 2025.”

Finally, BMW has ♈aไ new swingarm for 2025, with Gonschor saying that this is a given with a new homologation, but adding that the Bavarian marque is “pretty sure” it has decided on which specification to run in the upcoming season.

“The swingarm is always new because the swingarm is the pa꧟rameter that you can choose and you must adjust to the whole bike package,” Gonschor said.

“Between every new bike package, with new centre of gravity and a new balance of the bike needs a new swingarmꩵ.

“We are ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚglad that we have our test team to develop big parts like always and announce it in time for the new season, because in the end you must decide with which swingarm you will start the season, and we are pretty sure we finished the job already.”
